The Ones Who Walk Away From the Torment Nexus

I never did an intro post, so here goes: I am a software engineer by trade living in Silicon Valley. I tend to post about: Geekery Cats Videogames Movies Music The wonders of nature Political nonsense Absurdity in other forms

If only there were a Nobel Prize for heckling

You can't argue with that logic.

The persecution of @repilhan.bsky.social just days before an election is vile and politically-motivated. I'm leading 175 House Democrats in denouncing this. When we retake power, we have to seriously look at how we can stop these abuses of power — starting with the power of the purse.

motherfucker have you heard of algebra

Hey Bay Area peeps, do you like Cheesecake Factory?

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

Where do Gen X go when they die They don’t go to heaven they’re here on blue sky

Great, bring Comey into the news right before an election. I’m sure it will go great.

Maybe if they’d stop running cover for sex criminals?

just building on this thread shitting on RFK, the mosfet, the literal foundation upon which all modern electronics (particularly computers) is built, was invented by an egyptian guy named mohamed atalla en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed...

AI bubble bursting or MS plunging full speed ahead on AI?

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

“I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again.” More later, but my love for LOTR directly led to a Middle Earth invitation & I’m emotional.

Can we get some love for a senior dog?❤️ He's the goodest boy. Original post

I don’t think it’s appropriate to compare it to the Cheesecake Factory when French bordello was right there.

Tremendous content, etc.

Queen shit. Alt text added.

We can measure the efficiencies gained by going to more FLOPS, but how do we measure the inefficiencies of language choice, code bloat, OS overhead etc?

Hate watching Eyes Wide Shut in the fitness room of this hotel.

I thought this was a lighthearted joke, but no. White people being assholes again.

Also no people named Benny, you blockhead.

When Democrats do well this fall, we’re going to see a lot of “strategists” trying to take credit for their approach. The trans panic people have been nothing but a drag on Democratic momentum and they need to fuck off into the sun

WE MADE A MOVIE IT EXISTS GO SEE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA #wildwood

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

Whenever I am frustrated about land use regulation in California I take a deep breath and remember that England exists.

Between Green Party members opposing solar farms and whatever the hell Labour is on about these days, I feel like everything I ever thought I knew about UK politics is a filthy lie.

This means war is Daffy’s thing, you phillistine.

Saw Wicker las night. Very enjoyable, would recommend.
